One of my buddies up in Bellingham had two of his ladder stands stolen this last week.They were chained and locked and they still took them.Beware,and if anyone has them or knows of someone bragging about stealing them,pm me.Thanks,bb94.

Sorry to here that, I am afraid to leave my car locked on the side of the road any more.

He was pissed to say the least!He did get a nice buck out of one of them,before they stole them.His son was still hunting out of them for deer,before someone nabbed them.Bellingham PD is also on the hunt,as he works for them,ironically.

Who does this kinda crap ?  Whatever happened to earning the stuff you use instead of ripping off whatever you can find that's not tied down.  Oh that's right, you guys even tied this stuff down.  Hope you catch these pathetic individuals and they get their just reward

Rising unemployment and an increase in cheap idiots..

Just a theory 

Hope they find them, this kind of stuff is just plain sad

times have changed for sure.I remember playing till it got dark,and now am afraid to leave my kids alone for any length of time!!This is the second time we have lost stands.I lost one 20years ago next an old orchard,and the guy insisted I was killing all the deer!I hadn't even shot one when he used a ladder and bolt cutters and got it down!I did get it back,though!I remove my steps so people can get up to the stand!Ladders are to tempting for people to use /and steal apparently.

Thanks for the post M.  I just signed up to this site.  Still looking no luck yet.  I guess someone just needed them more then me.  It still sucks though!

There needs to be lo-jack on these things so we can track down the fools who steal them. Better yet, wait until, the next hunting season when they'd use them, then go disrupt their honey-hole before retrieving your stand  . Seem's fitting

thanks dalmer,I would like to catch people stealing a stand!!

That is exactly why I worry about leaving a stand out.  I've done it a couple times and use one of those 30 foot cable locks.  I figure they are harder to cut through but I guess if someone really wants to they would find an easy way through it.  Sorry to hear about your stands.
